Giants co-owner John Mara continues to mend the hard feelings caused by the team's unceremonious benching of two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning two weeks ago.

Mara was asked by reporters at the NFL meetings in Texas on Wednesday if he wants Manning to return next season.

"Yes," Mara said.

If Mara left it there, everyone could move on. Manning is under contract for two more years, so the Giants don't need to lift a finger to bring back the quarterback who turns 37 three days after this miserable season ends on Dec.
